Can someone explain to me why this is such a big deal? I have gathered from context the guy who lost was an influencer that people dislike, but that’s really all I know. Is there more to it than that?

Not really. He's a vocal racist douchebag who pretends to be an athlete to chase clout. He engaged in competition with an actual athlete and got immediately and embarrassingly wrecked.

It's like if Musk had actually fought Zuckerberg and immediately had his face caved in. I don't care that the Zucc won, I just care that Elon got his cheeks clapped like a little bitch.

I haven't been paying much attention, and didn't even know this fight had happened until after the memes, so I might get some of this wrong. But, from what I gather, the influencer initially planned to fight a boxer who was significantly smaller and lighter, but there were legal issues with that fight. So, instead he arranged to fight Anthony Joshua. Joshua hadn't fought in something like a year and a half. But, is an actual boxer who hasn't fully retired.

The way the fight went, the influencer kept running away until he was too tired to keep running, at which point, finally, the boxer was able to actually start landing punches, and eventually he broke the influencer's jaw in 2 places.

dude is a known toxic masculine Internet personality that is famous for, stupid mean pranks, womanizing, and being an all around piece of shit human.

dude went into the Aokigahara forest in Japan to ridicule the corpses of people who committed suicide. (edit: this was his brother evidently, but it says a lot about the family doesn't it?)

if that doesn't say what kind of a piece of shit he is, I don't know what will.

He's also the owner of the maga Gatorade called Prime, just in case anyone passing through the comments gets the urge to drink some.

That was his brother, Logan Paul.

my mistake, but it says a lot about the family, doesn't it.

If he didn't condemn his brother doing it that proves he's a piece of shit
